Three particularly important public issues or causes during that time were:

  1. Child labor laws
  2. Suffrage
  3. Prohibition

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came about in the 1880s in New York. Only AFTER this were children considered, for child labor laws AND child abuse. In fact, the first NY child abuse case was referred to the ASPCA in New York because there was no agency.

Other areas important from the 1880s to 1920s were:

  1. men's wages in coal mines
  2. unionization efforts for men workers
  3. mine safety; workplace safety
